Maintainers credited the milestone to a sustained shift among developers toward self-hosted infrastructure, driven by rising cloud costs and concerns about vendor lock-in.

The project's foundation announced new corporate sponsorships alongside the milestone, including funding earmarked for security audits and documentation translation into ten additional languages.
